He covers seat comfort, turning radius, power steering, and what implements he thinks it can realistically handle, plus a tiller test mentioned from a prior video. Best for shoppers weighing the 5045E as a starter utility tractor for light farm work.
Posted by the amos snow da Harley Man channel, which appears to be an owner-operator sharing unscripted impressions from his own Texas property.
Yes, the owner says if he had to drop to one tractor or was a man starting out with 15 to 20 acres needing a good all-around tractor, the 5045E is the one he would choose.
The owner says he would not go with four-wheel drive on the 5045 model. If he wanted four-wheel drive, he would bump up to a 5055 instead.
He expects it can pull a three-bottom plow, six-foot disc, three or four-wheel planter, a six to seven foot mower, a four to eight wheel rake, and a small square baler.
It is an open station spring suspension seat with decent foam underneath. The owner says it rides real good and did not tear his back up.
